Ingleton, North Yorkshire history

---

Ingleton and the surrounding area was settled in the Iron Age by the Brigantes. The Brigantes built a hill fort on top of Ingleborough with walls a 0.62-mile (1 km) in circumference. It is thought the Romans defeated them in battle and built a fort alongside the hill fort. By the 12th century the Normans had built a church in the village.

Manor

Willian Lowther (1574–1641) of Ingleton Hall was Lord of the Manor, Justice of the Peace for the West Riding and had seven children. His son Richard inherited the manor and two sons joined the church. His daughter Frances (1612–1665) married John Walker who leased the Ingleton Colleries.

Industry

The Ingleton Coalfield is 6 miles long by 4-mile wide and extends into neighbouring parishes of Burton in Lonsdale and Thornton-in-Lonsdale. The earliest coal mining occurred along the River Greta where Four Foot and Six Foot seams outcrop. Most deep mining was at New Ingleton Pit sunk in 1913.
